BioTRIZ
Regenerative Design Primer, Draft, published by UK Architects Declare in March 2024, defines BioTRIZ as: ‘The forerunner to this is the Russian problem-solving methodology called TRIZ (an acronym that roughly translates as ‘Theory of rational and inventive problem solving’). Developed by Genrikh Altshuller. TRIZ was taught in all Russian schools and some have claimed that this explains why the Russians were more inventive than NASA in the space race. More recently, it was adapted by Nikolay and Olga Bogatyrev to include biological strategies in addition to human inventive principles. This can be a very useful method for resolving difficult functional challenges.’
